🏆 Galway v Roscommon Prediction
Galway take on Roscommon in the semi-finals of the championship, with both sides desperate to advance to the provincial finals. Both sides were in quarter final action last weekend, with both securing dominant victories. Galway travelled to New York and ran out winners on a scoreline of 3-28 to 0-20. Roscommon made the trip to London and were also largely comfortable, winning on a scoreline of 2-26 to 0-13. This match will provide a big test for both teams, testing their credentials as potential Connacht champions. Galway had a strong league campaign and narrowly missed out on a place in the Division 1 league final, while Roscommon were promoted from Division 2. This match is a tricky one to call but we think Galway’s firepower will see them to victory.

✔️ Galway v Roscommon Betting Tips
Now we will look at our betting tips for this Connacht championship semi-final that you might think about using if you have any free bet offers.
- Galway to Win: Based on their scoring prowess.
- Roscommon Handicap +5: Based on recent meetings.
- Robert Finnerty to score a goal anytime: Based on quality.
Galway are the favourites heading into this one, with many fans and pundits not only tipping them for Connacht championship success, but potentially All Ireland championship success. Galway have a major score threat in their side with Robert Finnerty and Cillian McDaid expected to cause Roscommon problems. Galway’s star man Shane Walsh might be available after missing the last couple of games through injury. If this happens then Galway’s threat is even higher, and they will book their place in the final of the Connacht Championship with a win in this game. This market is available at odds of 1.22.
If we look at recent meetings between Galway and Roscommon, they tend to be tight encounters with not much separating the two sides. Their last meeting in the Allianz National League in 2024 ended in a draw. The sides last met in the Connacht championship back in 2023, with Galway running out winners by four points on a scoreline of 1-13 to 1-09. Galway will likely win this match, but it will not be an easy ride for them. We recommend putting a handicap on Roscommon, with BoyleSports offering a handicap of +5 at odds of 1.91.
Robert Finnerty is the standout player in the Galway attack with Shane Walsh potentially missing through injury. Galway will be looking to the Salthill-Knocknacarra man to be the difference maker in this semi-final clash. Finnerty scored 0-6 in the quarter final clash with New York last weekend, so he has form heading into this. Goals could be vital in what is expected to be a tight game, so bet on Galway’s inform forward to find the back of the net.
📈 Galway Squad Form
As mentioned, Galway are fresh off a comfortable Connacht quarter final win in Gaelic Park in New York.

They won 3 of their 7 games, drawing twice and losing twice.
⚽Roscommon Squad Form
Roscommon gained promotion back to Division 1 in their league campaign, although they did suffer a defeat to Monaghan in the Division 2 league final.
